Others of note include hot spring management sim Onsen Master, Kemco’s latest RPG Fairy Elements, chilled puzzler Please, Touch The Artwork, and the arcade footy game Golazo! 2 – guaranteed to recall watching Channel 4 on a Saturday morning in the ‘90s. Switch owners can also expect the 1991-set Pikmin alike adventure Tinykin – garnering some very positive reviews – the 16-bit style randomised shooter Rick Henderson ( reviewed by ourselves today), striking 2D action RPG ANNO: Mutationem, and Curve Games’ side-scrolling action brawler Chenso Club. Even the Game Boy games hold up surprisingly well. We’ve spent some time with TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection and have been left impressed not just by the quality of emulation – which even includes the option to remove sprite flicker – but also by the range of extras. Look out for the 13-game strong TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection from Konami, the cutesy dance-off-based creature capture game Ooblets (with a 30% off launch discount), anime brawler JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R, and a belated conversion of the minifig beat’em up LEGO Brawls.


In fact, a noticeable number of games head to both the eShop and retail – far more than usual. These include Spike Chunsoft’s anime tie-in Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness, the hack ‘n slasher role-player Dusk Diver 2 – which has gained some middling review scores – and the double pack Presents NIS Classics Volume 3, which brings together La Pucelle: Ragnarok and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. Having said that, there is a JRPGs slant to this week’s new release assortment, with a handful available both digitally and at retail.

It’s a tubular/gnarly/bodacious week for the Switch – if you can’t find something to pique your interest amongst the 30-odd titles due out, we’d be very surprised.
